My senior year of high school found me living in Phoenix, Arizona and attending a large school, around 4,000. The night I graduated there were a little over 700 seniors in my graduating class. It took awhile for us all to march across the stage setup on the football field to receive our diploma and the band was dragging by the time it got to the end, plus it was hot in that Arizona sun.
I'll never forget the 60's. It was a time of great change in America. President Kennedy was assassinated in November of 1963, which everyone living then can tell you exactly where they were and what they were doing, the Viet Nam war was raging and controversial, the Civil Rights Movement was in high gear, drugs were everywhere it seemed, the Hippie Movement and their Woodstock concert, the Beatles invaded America and changed the music we listened to, and the Jesus Movement. Lots of changes.
I managed to live through that era with the help of God. Lots of changes going on in our country, but it didn't change me. I went to high school with drugs all around me, partying, girls sleeping with their boyfriends, smoking and drinking and the world saying God was dead, but I knew better!
I knew God was alive and He was living inside of me. I'm so thankful I knew the Word and what God did for me was true. You see, I accepted Jesus when I was 8 years old and fell madly in love with Him. No boy, no drug, no alcohol, no music could take the place of Jesus Christ in me! I was high alright, but I was high on the Most High which is the best high of all.
The Bible says I'm seated with Him in Heavenly places, so that's pretty high. It's a high I never want to come down from and the best part is someday He's coming back for those who have made themselves ready. To be ready you just have to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Just confess your sins, ask Him to forgive you and invite Jesus to live in you too. He'll come in and make your heart His home. You'll be high too!
